I used Taste at least once a day when I was working. Only problem I found was that there were so many recipe's for one thing that some weren't as good as others. It often too 2 or 3 attempts to find the one that worked best.
I mostly used it for desserts & packets for croc pots etc, but thats because I was often short on time & I had to use the ingredients that were available to me. Which was mostly packets.
Mum bought me the CWA cook book, but I haven't had much chance to use it yet. It has sauces etc. Common sence cookery book is pretty good too, but there are newer recipes I was looking for that weren't in there. Its easier to have a variety of books. Magazines are great too.
